Offloading is considered the mainstay of treatment. Total contact casting (TCC) is widely used but does not effectively offload the hindfoot. Some studies suggest that a metal stirrup is effective at offloading midfoot and hindfoot ulcers. The primary purpose of this study is to compare the offloading mechanism of TCC to a stirrup cast.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A pilot observational study assessing 12 healthy volunteers who underwent casting with a TCC or stirrup cast. A sensor (Pedar; Novel GmbH) that measures maximum force, peak pressure, and contact time and area of each foot region, was placed inside the cast to assess the offloading mechanisms of the 2 interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We measured a reduction in all plantar foot loading parameters from the TCC to the stirrup cast.
